Hello from Western New York

  Recently started classifying in Chimps & See. I've found a few chimps that I have flagged but not sure if I'm doing it right. Previously spent A LOT of time on Tomnod and EyeWire sites.

  welcome @MrBill,

  you are doing it great, thanks!! just make sure that when you find a video with a chimp (or more) that could be easily identifiable: nice face shots or distinctive traits like ear cuts or something that makes you think that you will be able to identify the same chimp if you saw it in another video again, you post that video in the pertinent site. This way we can give him/her a temporary ID hoping that we can find his/her match, and only then think of a final name 😃

  You can have a look at the posts in the site that is running now (Dry Lake), and get a feeling of it...It´s much easier than it sounds 😛

  thanks for joing in!!
